When you look down your path and cannot determine how to practically walk in what you know….that’s when a lot of great ideas, theologies, and doctrines fail. But it is the only true test of anything we put faith in.

For me, the only thing that works is remembering that I have a choice; that the only person I have control over is me, and I’m completely responsible for my responses and actions.
So when I respond to or initiate life situations, I can do so in love. When I respond to, or initiate interaction with people, I can do so in love-which is the only way I’ve found that delivers all the results I truly want.

What works for me is simple because it has to be. I can’t start spinning my mind’s wheels or I become more stuck in its mud. So it’s just love, which implies all sorts of desirable attitudes and attributes. I don’t choose it for any particular reason except that it works time and again.

Loving and respecting yourself and others is creating a harmonious environment for your life. Then you live in peace, and allow others to experience the same. What bigger difference can you make than this?

Circumstances (and people) can suck, but we only make them worse by forsaking what works for what feels more satisfying to our ego. You choose, so why not choose peace instead of furthering the chaos? Why not choose love?

I’m posting a rough cut of a new tune called Let it Be Love. It’s sooo unfinished, and kind of off-kilter in places, but I couldn’t help it…I think it’s pretty appropriate; hope you dig.
